My goodness, how is it Thursday already? It's a glorious sunny day here in New England, & I'm working hard on a paper I'm presenting in Germany in July.
So, unfortunately this will be short--rather than a quote, I just want to wish you a good day:

I have been sick in bed for the last few days--but here is my attempt to catch up on some blogging.

This spring has meant a few trips to the UK.
Spent a lovely few days in Cambridge, and even managed one of the carol services at King's College. Their Christmas carols are a legend, and attending evensong on a regular day, was just as spectacular. The chapel is absolutely stunning.

Took a lovely day trip to Brighton with friends:

"These studies sustain youth and entertain old age, they enhance prosperity, and offer a refuge and solace in adversity, they delight us when we are at home without hindering us in the wider world, and are with us at night, when we travel and when we visit the countryside." -Cicero (106-43BC)

While I love learning/teaching, I'm looking forward to the fact that it's the end of the semester & summer break is on its way. However, even on holiday, even when we travel, something remains with us from our studies.
School's out, classes finished, just a pile of marking & then summer truly begins.
No more students' dirty looks:
